337785 - Importing CA chain: Can't import new intermediate if root is already present

Status: NEW

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect, P3)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Given this hierarchy of CA certs:
  Root CA Cert
  |
  |_ Intermediate cert A
  |
  |_ Intermediate cert B

Go to a web page that delivers:
  Root CA Cert
  |
  |_ Intermediate cert A

as content-type application/x-x509-ca-cert.

Import that chain.
Go to cert manager and you'll find that both certs have been imported.

Now go to a web page that delivers:
  Root CA Cert
  |
  |_ Intermediate cert B
as content-type application/x-x509-ca-cert.

Actual result:
  Nothing gets imported in addition.
  You get a message saying "cert already exists".

Expected behaviour:
  Intermediate cert B should get imported

I think this will be fixed by bug 1257403, although there is still the issue of the already present root that may or may not prevent this working as expected.
